Backyard Designs Mistake 1: Working Without A Plan
Create harmony in your backyard design
A backyard may look nice and yet not have personality. Somehow, it all does not seem to fit together in one harmonious picture.
What you need is a theme! It could be a tropical island theme, in which case Deborah suggests "a curvy turquoise bottomed swimming pool with a natural rock waterfall would look fabulous topped off by rattan or bamboo patio furniture, kontiki torches, brightly colored dishes and big leafy plants".
Important thing is to choose a style and make a statement but be consistent with the theme throughout the backyard.

Backyard Designs Mistake 2: Cheap Looking Furniture
Don't forget to budget for furniture that reflects your backyard design
Deborah has many times seen the most beautiful backyards be ruined by cheap, white, molded plastic garden furniture.
If proper planning is not done initially, the money budgeted might be insufficient by the time they get to the furniture. Or people just do not realize that patio furniture is all that important.
She says "why have tacky white plastic chairs in a European world style when classic stone or wrought iron furniture will make you feel like you're lounging at Versailles?"
